Advice for young people thinking about committing
their lives to Jesus
Christ.

“I want to accept Jesus, but I’m afraid. I’m not even sure
if I’m ready yet, but I want to be.” My wife and I were talking with a teenage
girl. She said she wanted to accept Jesus but didn’t understand how. “Can you
describe what happens when I decide to commit my life to Christ? What is
expected of me as a Christian? How will I have to change?”

Jesus once told an allegory (OK, a parable) about two kinds of people who went to the temple to pray. One of them was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector (Luke 18:9-14). Now, these days, 2,000 years after Jesus told the story, we might be tempted to nod knowingly and say, “Yes, of course, the Pharisees were the self-righteous hypocrites, right?” Well, maybe, but let’s put that assessment aside for the moment and consider what Jesus’ listeners would have been thinking.

Many Christians are afraid of the gospel. We are afraid of the gospel because it is too good. Many of us are more comfortable with religion than we are with the gospel. We prefer to read the Bible as a divine rulebook that guards the entrance to the kingdom than to read it as God’s witness to his redemption of the whole cosmos through his Son.

God called Abraham out of Mesopotamia and promised to give
his descendants the land of Canaan. After Abraham was in the land of Canaan,

The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Do
not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” But Abram
said, “O Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the
one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?… You have given me no
children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.”

A friend recently sent me a picture of the 2009 New Years Eve blue moon he
took on his phone camera from his home in Southern California. The moon wasn’t
actually blue, of course, but it was certainly a rare sight. A blue moon, which
is a second full moon in one month, is a rare occurrence in itself, occurring
only once every two-and-a-half years.

But a New Year’s Eve blue moon occurs only once every 19 years. That’s why
the expression “once in a blue moon” refers to something that is rare, special,
uncommon or strange, but not impossible.
